OFFICIAL LIGHT CAVALRY SABER FROM AROUND 1820. Author: Vicente Toledo Momparler (sword expert)

Reference	4-1820-C
Name	Official Light Cavalry Saber
Period	1820
Hilt	Elegant, made of polished iron, with a loop on the stirrup and two hawks. Rounded pommel monterilla that extends, for its fitting, into a base formed by a cross with an outer hawk that bends at a 90° angle to form the stirrup guard and another inward ending in a circular weapon. In the center of the cross, vertical diamond-shaped pieces serve a dual purpose: the upper half acts as a collar and the lower as a guide for the scabbard. The grip is covered with leather and reinforced with thirteen spirals of double twisted thread.
Blade	Curved, wide, with a fuller and broad hollow in almost its entire length. Edged on the outside and on the blade.
Scabbard	Made of iron, with a throat, two mounts, and two rings. Circular chape.
Inscription	No visible inscription
Total Length	973 mm
Blade Length	840 mm
Blade Width	32 mm
Description	A finely crafted weapon that bears witness to a lineage of beautiful and varied forms. They were widely used by Spanish officers during the early 19th century, a period when strict regulations made their use almost impossible. Political upheavals, military whims, social circumstances, and the turbulent times of the Independence period, as well as fashion—always so capricious among officers—prevented their universal standardization.
